baldie I don't want to do this but I just have to. Dude do you really think that Tool, Deftones and A Perfect Circle are non-mainstream? They aren't even metal (well Tool can be called progressive metal)! Still they are nice bands and Tool is just awesome! Of course...

baldie this is probably a problem with your DNS server not responding. When it doesn't, the URLs you enter aren't resolved into IP addresses. This happens especially during high traffic periods. Nothing you can do except keep trying until it does respond. Or switch...

baldie Well, every power outlet in our house is grounded so not grounding my PC or any other electrical appliance for that matter is not an issue. I plug it in and it is grounded. Simple as that.

I like watching hollywood movies with subtitles on!

sanuanu @sanuanu (11235) • India 11 Dec 08

I like it very much. I am from India and sometime I can't understand actor's accent in Hollywood Movies but I love them. Because of the accent I had to wait for the movies to come in hindi version and dubbed movies are far less...

baldie Subtitles are a very good way of following a movie. Many times especially in action movies, certain dialogs are mumbled or shouted faintly that I can't even hear them let alone understand them. Subtitles help there. Also in comedies where catching each bit of...

Alone or With Someone

vanonas @vanonas (949) • United States 9 Dec 08

I like to shop alone sometimes. It's faster than having someone else with you who wants to look at different things than you like to look at. I like having my boyfriend with me shopping though because he can tell me if he likes a...

baldie I don't like shopping at all. Shopping for clothes that is. I prefer to wear what I have till it literally drops off my back! I go shopping for clothes perhaps twice a year and even then I just spend a few minutes picking up whatever I see first!

Can You Read A Picture Book?

Zezloler @Zezloler (497) • United Arab Emirates 11 Dec 08

I'm sure all of you are familiar with picture books: books that use illustrations, often in chronological order, to tell a story. Picture books don't have any text. Now, my question is, do you think that you're able to "read"...

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 10 Dec 08

baldie I just never pick up a call I don't want to receive and then later I excuse myself by saying I didn't realise the phone was ringing. This way is much better than faking reception because the person at the other end will hear your voice clearly and can guess...

Touch Screen Phones are rubbish.

xkp172 @xkp172 (9) 11 Dec 08

baldie Two books which for me are as good as books will ever be. The Lord of the Rings which is a timeless story and one I'll never get tired off, and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. It has to be the funniest book ever published!

baldie Get a cat. Rabbits are cute but they have this tendency of chewing up stuff. Also my cousin had a pet rabbit once and it was killed by the neighbor's cat. You wouldn't want that happening to your pet would you?
